...East aoth Street in Manhattan on Oct. 27, 1858, a calm evening that followed days of strong northeast wind and record tides. His father, Theodore Roosevelt, a merchant-banker, of a Dutch family famous for seven generations in New York philanthropy, was a "Lincoln Republican." His mother, Martha Bulloch Roosevelt, was a Georgia-bred secessionist. One of T.R.'s first memories was about how he cheered for the Union and about how he would cheer even louder to reply to his mother's discipline. One night at family prayers Theodore fervently appealed to the Lord of Hosts...
...Tulsa courtroom, U.S. Attorney B. Hayden Crawford charged that Tulsa Tribune Reporter Nolen Bulloch, famed for his exposes of bootlegging and political corruption, had actually for nine years masterminded an underworld ring that smuggled liquor into legally dry Oklahoma (TIME, March 11). Bulloch, roared the prosecutor, was the conductor of "a streetcar named Desire-and the desire was for money." He wanted Reporter Bulloch convicted on a conspiracy charge...
Last week, after seven days of inconclusive, often contradictory testimony from a parade of bootleggers, prostitutes and hoodlums called as government witnesses, Prosecutor Crawford's streetcar was derailed. Without even hearing the defense, U.S. District Judge Royce H. Savage directed a verdict acquitting Bulloch and two other defendants.

In the 1956 election he uncovered a brisk trade in absentee ballots which had given State Senator John Russell a narrow victory over Representative Tom Payne. The outcome: Payne was seated in the state senate while his opponent and several other state officials, including an aide to Democratic Governor Raymond Gary, were charged with conspiracy. Soon after this investigation, Bulloch was warned that disgruntled politicians were out to avenge the vote-fraud exposure...
Disturber. Then came the grand jury and its indictment of 20 Oklahomans. among them Tulsa's police chief and police commissioner as well as Newshawk Bulloch. The mass indictment was all the more disturbing since there is no question in Tulsa of the integrity or legal skill of the prosecutor, a hard-driving U.S. district attorney named B. Hayden Crawford. Readers who flooded the paper with letters supporting Bulloch last week could only assume, as the Tribune does, that some of the liquor runners and prostitutes who testified before the grand jury may have been more anxious to quash...
